Hush

UPDATE: This store is closing in early Feb. 2008 — casualty of the economy.
Nicely edited, small store in WALNUT CREEK that carries ISABEL
MARANT, Mayle, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Vince, etc. They have a comprehensive website that usually shows their entire inventory. I’d give them 4 stars normally, but they get an extra star for carrying ISABEL MARANT in WALNUT CREEK.
Update: Uh oh. I don’t think they are going to carry Isabel Marant anymore. Kudos to them for having carried her in the past, but I’m dropping them to a 4.

I lived in WC when Hush opened and shopped there consistently for years until moving to SF. Whenever I’m in the area, I still stop in and still love the selection. What I DONT LOVE is the lame attitude of the girl who has been there every time I have recently. She probably doesn’t recognize me as a regular anymore (nor do i recognize her) but as someone who is willing to spend money on unique and hard to find pieces, i deserve a hello! Anyone who walks through that door does! It’s too bad because I would love to support them (the owners who used to be there were SOO nice) but just cant bring myself to do so anymore.

Cute little store located on the strip of downtown WC. The store is actually pretty small and assortment of clothing is low but the depth that they carry in the specific type of clothing is pretty deep. They have tons of Vince tees and tanks which is great to work with all the cute tops they have. I like that because this store is small it is easy to walk through and you don’t feel overwhelmed with merchandise. All the brands I love –Clu, Velvet, Development, Graham and Spencer and 12^th Street (which I Love!.. so I will definitely be back to see what is new. You should definitely join the mailing list because I did receive a coupon that was good for one purchase even off sale items so I was happy. Oh yea, they have great jewelry and carry a small bit of shoes by Dolce Vita (whom makes the best affordable flats out there!). I didn’t pay very much attention to the sales/​service because I am a shopper that knows what I want so to me it’s not important. This store is featured in Lucky as well. The store is like invading someone’s closet, so easy to browse through because it seemed like everything displayed was cute and just my style. Most importantly everything is mix and matchable and can go for day to night. I will be back!

I really want to keep Hush a secret so that I can have everything in my size to myself, but I can’t be selfish because this shop really deserves a lot of praise. This was the first boutique that we stopped into during our Main Street shopping day and we were immediately greeted by the sweet smiling sales associate behind the counter. Her adorable Yorkie was like a little toy sitting on the counter. We immediately felt at home in this little boutique.
I wanted to buy everything here. There were cute tops by Mint, Velvet, Development, Vince, dresses by Diane von Furstenburg and Twelfth Street, jeans by Rock & Republic, Habitual, and Joe’s — just to name a few.
I took advantage of the 20% off discount and got a lovely slip dress with silk trim by Twelfth St. I definitely could not work here, and I’m glad that they’re out in Walnut Creek, because I would do way too much damage here.

My favorite boutique on Main St in Walnut Creek. Brands include Joe’s jeans, Velvet, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Mint, Twelfth St by Cynthia Vincent, and Vince and jewelry by Philip Crangi, Viv and Ingird, and Me and Ro. There are just so many cute items at this store including this black keyhole sweater by Twelfth St that I bought today :)
The sales lady was especially friendly and helpful. She even browsed the Twelfth St website for me to see if there were any other items that I may like.
